Our yung-uns need to have the latest and greatest .
He is 25 yrs old. Really into cycling. Yesterday, he was rear-ended by a car. Fortunately, looks like just bruises and road rash, and really sore. But, it trashed the rear wheel on his bike, and his derailleurs (electronic shifting), and maybe some other issues. I stopped buying the bikes, once he got in college, so I had no idea what he had in this one. He built it himself, when he would see parts he really liked, at a discount (carbon fiber frame).
Dropped off his bike today, and he asked the owner of the shop what it would cost to replace it. The answer: $10K!!
Asked him how much he had in it.. uh.. about $6K. Unreal.

Since I charge most of my devices overnight, the "rapid charge" functionality isn't that useful to me. The last MacBook I set up for somebody else, I never unboxed the charger, just charged it up with a regular 12w USB charger and a USB-A to USB-C cable.
The Apple store took me early and tweaked a few things and sent me on my way. The diagnostics were all within specs and no rational reason for the meltdown yesterday. Did suggest I use one of my softer cases so the side buttons will work better. The cover I've been using is super hard plastic, great for protection, but the Apple tech even he felt how the side buttons weren't responding as they should. Simple fix as I've got a couple cases at home, all softer. Picked up a few cases on OfferUp at ridicuouosly low prices. So now, I swap them out every so often.
Boca store in the Town Center was crazy busy with so many folks. But the Apple techs all wear the same shirts and are easy to spot. Got there about 50 minutes early, said no problem and within 8 minutes, I was with a tech. Did a bunch of tweaks to my XR and then did some kind of diagnostic using a tablet device. Came back as running perfetly so after a few questions and changing of settings that were wrong and could've caused yesterdays issues, I was on my way. Already walking in my door at 4:30, so glad I went up early as going home traffic was starting to ramp up to a fevered pitch.

I have been a fan of the band Steely Dan for a while. Back about 15-20 years ago they had a very entertaining early website that was largely their own creation and both Walter Becker and Donald Fagen wrote a lot of the content. Becker had the nickname "Gearslut" because he could not stop buying guitars and amps.
He died in 2017 and recently his estate auctioned off literally hundred of pieces of equipment. It brought in $3.3 million, virtually all of it just guitars and amplifiers.

Love my iPhone and hopefully, things will be fine now. Need a gps for work and have all my music in my iTunes on the phone.

The devices are not cheap, if you prefer (as I do) to keep something which still receives security updates. I think Android’s official policy is three years from device release date; Apple doesn’t put anything in writing but tends to support their devices longer.
The two strategies I’ve used in the past are to either buy a recently released flagship device, *or* the next most recent device (heavily discounted), just after a new flagship is released. I’m fairly careful with my devices, but I have friends who break a phone every 6-12 months, so it might be different if you’re buying for someone who is more haphazard.
The cell phone insurance my credit card includes is not available to me because I don’t have a monthly cell phone bill, and that’s one of the requirements.
I have the XS now. It's fine. Entirely too expensive, but I like the camera.
The camera on the 6s is good, but I'd like something a little better. I also have a great DSLR, so the camera alone isn't a great excuse to upgrade my phone.
some people use work machine for all kinds of surfing, and even stuff like home banking, which I would never do.

I won’t do banking at work, but certainly log on here a few times a day. If ever questioned I would counter with them going after all the smoke break abusers!
My office is the last door before the lunchroom/smokers area and the abuse is off the charts. Some go out 5 times or more a day. I don’t know how they get anything done.

One of the recent hires is constantly taking a smoke break--gets their work done, but has to stay late in order to do so. I prefer not smoking and leaving at 5:00.

From '82 to '85 I worked at the largest hospital in the region in what was a new part of the administration, essentially an in-house management consulting group. There were 8 to 10 of us, and being a new unit, we were housed in less-than-prime office space. This was a teaching hospital that included a School of Nursing that was housed in its own somewhat old building. The school had more dorm rooms than they needed so the top 3 floors, which were sort of a penthouse built on top of the main structure and was smaller than the main building footprint, was converted to offices. In our case we got two floors, each with 6 offices (plus a large washroom on each floor complete with showers, etc as you might expect to find in a dorm). My office was at the far end of the lowest of the two floors and was adjacent to a door that led out to the roof of the main building. Being a former dorm room it was a good size, and we had been able to furnish each one with surplus furniture the hospital had in storage. In my case this included a waiting room sofa, coffee table and two visitor chairs in addition to my desk and chair.
At some point long before, a couple of large sections of the roof had decks built over the roof membrane and these were used by the nursing students as their own private sun deck. Naturally in warm weather the young ladies used it for suntanning and hanging out outside. It was quite common for them to knock on my office door, usually in bathing suits, and ask to use the nearest power plug in my office to power their boom boxes. Since I was not much older than they were, many of them would stay and chat, and we became buddies.
I don't know how *I* got anything done.

If I remember, you didn’t buy that phone new, isn’t that right?

It's listed for $37,239...they paid me $35,000 for it. How does that business model work?
I mean...it works for me.

I said to him: "Luigi. I just delivered 3 cases to you at the end of last week."
He said to me (joking): "Junior. Leta me tell you asomething. I order the material. You deliver the material. You understand? Junior. Don't aska no questions."
Me: "Yes sir."
So I say to you @breld : "don't aska no questions."

and the Audi probably needed nothing. Take it in, detail it, put it on the lot, sell at that price, and make a quick $2K profit.

They also accepted the car with the winter wheel set - they are OEM Audi wheels, but I know for a fact the dealership group where I leased the Volvo wanted the stock S-line wheels on it. I should be able to net another $500 or so out of the extra wheels set, so that's nice.

So, when I just saw your post, I was interested and logged into Car and Driver. And up top of the page, there it was! I just emailed him to tell him the name of it as he just said it started with an "S". Coming some time in the spring. Pricing for the top model will probably be in the high 20's but, if it's that good, might just do it! Of course, have to see it in person and drive it first, play with the interior. But if it's like the Golf was on my initial test drive, I'll know within 5 or so minutes if I'm gonna buy it. With the Golf, about four minutes in, told myself that this is it, maybe not this week, maybe not next, but I've found my next vehicle.
And hoping things go the same way with this new Kia, or even the Hyundai Venue. I'll know pretty quickly that it's going to be in my garage shortly!

I've had a week to think it all over, and after talking with the wife last night, going to go through and sign up with The Neptune Society and have my final wishes taken care of. All the family will need to pay for is the county medical examiners sign off on the death certificate as have no clue whether we'll still be living in South Florida, Central Florida or even North Carolina when the end comes. 99% of things will be paid already, and they come pick up the body within a 90 minute to two hour time frame. Then it'll already be spelled out what my final wishes are. No fuss, no muss.
I think the subject of dying scares a lot of people so they never have this conversation, ever. After I got deathly ill last year, I am no longer scared of death...it's just part of living. But since I will not stand being buried in a box underground, I'm doing the planning my way. My wife and oldest will know what I want and what will be done well, once I'm gone! Even though it's not required, I'm planning on leaving the three kids something, have no clue what amount that will be, but it'll be substantial enough for them to have some fun! Just like what my dad and grandma left me, wasn't a whole lot but enough for me to buy a new vehicle and invest in the stock market. It came at a tough time in my life and it gave me some much needed confidence when I really needed it. Personally, I think people feel better and act more positive when they have money in the bank or in other investments. Just knowing I don't have to ask anyone else if I want to buy something or hell, just leave it for the three kids. Trust me, when the time comes, they'll be thanking me where ever I am!
